Strong's Number: , periergazomai Usage Notes: lit., "to be
working round about, instead of at one's own business" (peri,
"around," ergon, "work"), signifies to take more pains than enough
about a thing, to waste one's labor, to be meddling with, or
bustling about, other people's matters. This is found in 2 Thess.
3:11, where, following the verb ergazomai, "to work," it forms a
paronomasia. This may be produced in a free rendering: "some who
are not busied in their own business, but are overbusied in that of
others."2 Thess. 3:11 Don McClain 10 W. 65th St church of Christ /
